- Changes 1.01 - 1.02
- -------------------
-
- - during a ascii transfer, there was no way to send a char via keyboard.
- (e.g. the sender waited for a <return> from the receiver to start
- the transfer ... )
-
- Changes 1.00 - 1.01
- -------------------
-
- - filetypes were truncated to a length of 1024.
- I lifted this limit to 4096, I hope this is enough.
- - Disc cache up to 1Mb is now possible, gives better file
- transfer rates on slow computers.

- Changes 0.99b-1.00
- ------------------
-
- Hey, I removed the beta !!! ;-)
- BTW my email address has changed from:
- topdog@rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de
- to topdog@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de
- there is a difference !!
- Same with the web page address.
- If you don't like this long www address use this http://come.to/amz
-
- - included system variables into the script language
- e.g. send <Connector$Dir> (quite senseless this example)
- - optinal use of the dosmap for file type conversion.
- thanks to Jon Ripley for his file type mappings.

-
- here is a small example ...
-
- REM Logon
-
- DIAL
- REM WAIT "password:"
- STATUSLINE OFF
- OSCLI "Filer_Run <Connector$Dir>.SetPass"
- SEND <password>
- SEND "|M"
- OSCLI "unset password"
- STATUSLINE ON
-
- END
-
- "SetPass" is a program to set the variable password.
-
- - included the special character set in vt102.(not all, but better
- than nothing ;-) )

- it starts the upload immediately.
- - new script command RECORD
- RECORD "<filename>" starts a spool record, if no file name
- is given it will take the current date and time as a file name.
- It will be saved in the new 'SpoolFiles' directory.

- small example:
-
- loop:

- GOSUB do_this
- DEC counter
- IF counter > 0 GOTO loop
-
- IFN WAIT "test",400 GOTO something_different
